Review of 'Never Panic Early' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Fred Haise's autobiography co-written with Bill Moore. Like other works by astronauts, it is a relatively dry and regimented account. There are many abbreviations and details of interest to a pilot. The author kept a diary so the reader can find out who got food poisoning when, and how many pounds of thrust were generated by every engine on every plane that the author flew. The author's account of the Apollo 13 mission is probably what a typical reader is looking for. It is only a small fraction of the text. Nevertheless, if you are interested in this part of our history, Mr. Haise's story is a significant part of it.
